context_page_description: The Nissan R382 was a racing car built in 1969 by Nissan Motors for competition in the Japanese Grand Prix. Built to the Group 7 motorsports formula, the car featured Nissan's first V12 engine. It was a replacement for the Nissan R381 from the previous year.
context_section_description: For the 1969 Japanese Grand Prix, Nissan was facing more competition than ever before.  The Porsche factory decided to bring one of their new 917s to the event with Jo Siffert and David Piper. Various other Porsches were also part of the field.  Toyota had been continuing in development of their 7, while Isuzu entered for the first time with their R7-Chevrolets.
  With three R382s entered, Nissan was able to dominate the field, taking the top two positions after 320 miles. Motoharu Kurosawa and 1966-winner Yoshikazu Sunako would share the winning car, which finished a lap ahead of the third place Toyota 7.
  In 2004, Nismo would restore one of the R382s for use in exhibition events around Japan.  The car is usually run with the other cars in the R380 series.
